The National Institute for Basic Biology (NIBB) (Department of Basic Biology, SOKENDAI) is offering a research internship program for undergraduate and graduate students, who wish to gain experience in scientific lab work.

Acceptance for the NIBB Internship Program was over in the 2010 financial year because of more than maximum number of application.
We appreciate your understanding of and interest to the NIBB activities.

Research at NIBB covers a wide variety of biological fields, such as cell biology, developmental biology, neurobiology, evolutionary biology, environmental biology, and theoretical biology, and is conducted to elucidate the general and fundamental mechanisms underlying various biological phenomena.

Each intern will join ongoing research projects in a world-class research group. Interns can also participate in various departmental activities, journal clubs, and seminars by outstanding researchers inside and outside of NIBB.

International travel expenses and accommodation costs at the institution’s lodge will be supported during the program (For the details please ask your host lab).

Internship duration will be decided through discussion with your host lab. Periods ranging from several days to several weeks are possible. NIBB will support internships from summer 2010 to March 31^st 2011. Final deadline for applications is December 3^rd (Friday), however applications will be considered in the order they are received and we will cease accepting applications once our fixed budget for this program is reached.
